Abstract(s)
A Síndrome de Burnout tem vindo a ser definida como uma das consequências mais
marcantes do stresse profissional, e caracteriza-se pela exaustão emocional, sobretudo em
profissões com elevados níveis de contato interpessoal. Como tal, torna-se pertinente estudar a
Síndrome de Burnout em cuidadores formais de idosos institucionalizados, uma vez que são
considerados um grupo de risco.
Foi realizado um estudo descritivo observacional e transversal. O instrumento aplicado foi
o CBI (Copenhagen Burnout Inventário), aplicado a cem cuidadores formais trabalhadores em Lares
de idosos no concelho de Castelo Branco.
No que diz respeito às três dimensões avaliadas no CBI, relativamente ao burnout pessoal
74,5% apresentaram baixos níveis de burnout e 25,5% elevados níveis. Em relação ao burnout
relacionado com o trabalho, 77,1% expõem níveis baixos de burnout e 22,9% apresentam níveis
elevados. Quanto ao burnout relacionado com o cliente 93,4% exibem baixos níveis e 6,6% mostram
altos níveis de burnout.
Concluiu-se que os cuidadores formais de idosos institucionalizados apresentaram baixos
níveis de burnout em todas as dimensões estudadas (cliente, pessoal e trabalho).
